The city has broken ground on River Commons, a mixed-use development in Morrisania that will bring 328 affordable and supportive apartments, an expanded health care clinic and public green space to the South Bronx. The $255 million project is expected to open in 2027.
Developed in partnership with NYC Health + Hospitals, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development and private developers, the project will rise on the campus of NYC Health + Hospitals/Gotham Health, Morrisania. It will include 229 affordable apartments for households earning between 30% and 70% of the area median income, along with 98 permanent supportive apartments for NYC Health + Hospitals patients experiencing homelessness through the system’s Housing for Health initiative.
